Jordan Melo M9 “Puerto Rico” Sneaker

In honor of the upcoming Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City, Jordan Brand has worked up a special â€œPuerto Ricoâ€ edition of their Melo M9 silhouette. Also a nod to Melo’s Puerto Rican heritage, the sneaker feaures a red upper consisting of patent leather on the toe box, carbon fiber-patterned leather on the midfoot and ankle, and Dyanmic Flywire inserts complemented by blue accents along the tongue, heel and the textured TPU cage and a white midsole. The lining features an interconnected sketch pattern conveys Meloâ€™s connections with both New York City and Puerto Rico. The Melo M9 â€œPuerto Ricoâ€ will release on June 6, just a few days ahead of the parade, and you can cop a pair for $140 USD.
